Where's My RedPill?

[302 Hi Pro]

Oh, that is sweet! Nice job Rick.

Humm, I wonder if I could trim one of those up for the Boss?

I guess not, it too high tech for my 12 Boss.

But it sure looks sweet in your GT350.

Have fun,
Dave

Thanks! Are the Ford RSD kits no longer available for the S197?

 

[TymeSlayer]

It will be a couple of weeks until I install these but they sure look nice.

They look just like mine. Sulivan's I reckon. Gonna look sweet in your 350.

Been a while since I updated this thread. In the past two months I:

Installed MM CC plates
Resonator Delete
Watson Racing Roll Bar
Schroth ASM Harnesses
SRP Pedals
Carbon2Carbon CF R look wing and splitter
N4SM 19x11 R look wheels
Michelin PSC2 tires

More photos tomorrow.

And finally after waiting for almost nine months my new Bell GP.3 Carbon helmet arrived just in time for two track days this week.

New caliper mounting bolts?

New caliper mounting studs?

I fixed that for you. Yes. The first set was installed yesterday and hopefully I'll get mine installed in the next week or so. I've been concerned about screwing the steel bolt into the aluminum knuckle with 135 ft lbs of torque from the beginning. Funny thing is Porsche GT3's have nearly identical fixed bridge calipers with the same issue and a shop named Tarett has a similar kit for the Porsche's.

And all finished and ready for track days at Sonoma and Thunderhill this week.

And what are these? @Tob

Hmmmm, I got me some of those same looking things. Will get them installed next week.

 

[50Deep]

Looks good!

I think I will call you Slick Rick

 

[drano38]

Looks great Rick!
Enjoy the track days.

Rick, installed my Tob-design caliper bolts yesterday. The fitment was perfect and they will make pad changes a breeze. You're gonna love them.

I'm looking forward to getting mine installed soon.

Can you give anymore details about those caliper studs? Are they available to order?

Tarett makes incredibly good stuff.

you will never go back. SRP pedals just work so well, IMO.

With respect to the studs they sell, they are made from the same manufacturer as the ones I'm having done.

I'll have something together soon. I was just going to get started installing the last R model caliper (driver's side rear) on my car and noticed this...




So after bleeding it's off to the dealer. Grrr!

 

[VoodooBoss]

Is that a half shaft seal leaking?

 

[302 Hi Pro]

Good find, and better to find it now than during your next track day session.
